Abstract:
Controlled synthesis of the equatorial tetra-, hexa-, and octaorgano[70]fullerenes with mixed addends was achieved via the reaction of equatorial 7,23-Bn2C70 with MeO- and ArCH2Br. The products were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The regioselectivity of the reaction was studied by in situ vis-NIR and Fukui function analysis. A surprising electrophilic triorgano[70]fullerene carbanion was shown, and an enhanced fluorescence was observed for the mixed octaadducts.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
